Holiday gifting - Ever get a cruise?

When I see holiday commercials featuring automobiles, I have to stop and wonder who are these people who give cars or lease cars as holiday gifts. I sure don't know any of them. I started to think about would I give or want a cruise rather than a car, etc. Just daydreaming, mind you.

PC has a page just for cruise gifts. I'm sure all the other lines do as well. It's a nice gesture that I'd not actually thought about before. Anyway, thought I would post a couple questions...

- Has anyone here ever given or received a cruise for a holiday gift?

- Has anyone booked on a cruise ever gotten onboard and discovered someone had purchased a gift for them through the cruise line's website?

Technically, no! But when we are cruising on a special day (birthday, anniversary or Christmas), I feel like it is a gift for that occasion. I wouldn't mind cruise and/or cruise related gifts. I did a good one early in our cruising "career", on a Halloween cruise I bought my DH a carnival jacket without him noticing and gave it to for Christmas. It was fun seeing his surprise as he talked about wishing he had purchased it after we returned. from the cruise.

Nope! However I will certainly have it on my "wish list"! Now I am giving "Carnival Gift Cards" to my kids to use for our family cruise next year. I think they will be pleased. Something new and different in their stockings!
